9:1 Ezra’s reaction against mixed marriages

9Now as soon as those things were finished, the leaders came to me, saying, “The people of Israel, and the priests and Levites haven’t kept themselves separate from the idolatery of the peoples of the lands: the Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, the Yebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egyptians, and the Amorites. 2Instead, they’ve taken women from those peoples as wives for themselves and their sons, so they’ve diluted their sacred heritage with the anti-God customs of those peoples. But the worst is that it’s our leaders and officials that have been at the forefront in this unfaithfulness.” 3As soon as I heard that, I tore my clothes and pulled some of the hair out of my head and beard, and I sat down appalled. 4Any others who respectfully followed Israel’s God’s instructions and who were concerned about the unfaithfulness of the exiles, joined with me and I sat there appalled until the time of the evening sacrifice.

9and_after_done these_things they_drew_near to_me the_officials to_say not they_have_separated_themselves the_people Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) and_the_priests and_the_Lēviyyiy from_peoples_of the_lands with_abominations_of_their from_the_Kənaˊₐ the_Ḩittiy the_Pərizzī the_Yebusi the_ˊAmmōnī the_Mōʼāⱱites the_Miʦrayim/(Egypt)ians and_the_ʼAmorī.
2If/because they_have_taken some_of_daughters_of_their to/for_them and_for_sons_of_their and_ the_offspring_of _mixed the_holy in/on/at/with_peoples_of the_lands and_hand_of the_leaders and_the_officials it_has_been in/on/at/with_unfaithfulness the_this first.
3and_when_heard_I DOM the_report the_this I_tore DOM garment_of_my and_robe_of_my and_pulled some_of_hair_of my_head and_beard_of_my and_sat_down appalled.
4And_around_me every they_gathered person_trembling in/on/at/with_words_of the_god_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) on the_unfaithfulness_of the_exiles and_I was_sitting appalled until at_offering_of the_evening.
